Question - Make auto generated share URLs shorter?

[jamess60]

Hi all

My instance has very low volumes of traffic/users, but I quite often use it to move files in/out of vms and remote sessions that I cant always copy paste into.

Is there a way to make the auto generated urls shorter for convenience? Even 2 characters would suffice for my needs

hey james,

you may use an bucked id ( ?sid=ab)

I think the code that generate the random id is

function getSid() { // support setting an explicit SID by location search param const match = document.location.search.match(/sid=([^&]+)/); if (match) { return match[1]; } else { return md5(uuid()).toString().substr(0, 12); } }

As you can see it`s a hardcoded length.

Hi @Maytrok - Thanks for sharing!
I see you linked pull #283 - does this mean there is now an ENV for this?

I see this was added to the readme! Closing issue :)

Reopening as I only just found the time to test...

Looks like the #283 merge has conflicts - did it ever go ahead?
I cant see a reference to sid length in the config.js and adding this env to docker compose does nothing
